Storing into vector problem

Question

I am storing my documentID etc into setter methods and vector in my database class. DocumentID field is an auto number field in access database. e.g there are 7 records in the database and by right the documentID should be from 1 to 7. When i retrieve the contents from vector in my servlet class, all 7 records' documentID are 7 but not from 1 to 7. And this occurs when i add the yb instance into a vector. it works alright when i do a System.out.println() within the while loop(before adding into a vector). My qns is why is it that the last record number is being displayed instead of 1 to 7? if my codes were to be the one displayed below, it works:
while(rs.next())
v.add(rs.getString("DocumentID"));
// inside Database class
// e.g all 7 records' DocumentID would display 7 instead of 1 to 7.
while(rs.next()){
YourBean yb = new YourBean();
yb.setDocument(rs.getString("DocumentID"));
yb.setDocName(rs.getString("DocName"));
yb.setStateCode(rs.getString("State_Code"));
yb.setOriginator(rs.getString("Originator"));
v.addElement(yb);
stmt.close();
con.close();
catch(SQLException e){
System.out.println(e);
e.printStackTrace();
return v;

A static field is one that is declared as "static". Like this:private static String document;If you did that then there's only one instance of the variable for the class.
